All Praise to God
SATB Choir and Organ. A Trinitarian text by the composer set to the famous hymn tune Melita (the Navy hymn). A great use of this undersung tune including a fabulous stanza in the style of a Bach chorale (optional unison).
All praise to God, who reigns above,
the God of Power, the God of Love.
All glory be to God on high,
and thanks to God whose Love is nigh.
O hear our prayers, Lord God of Love,
and bring us to thy throne above.
O God, the Son whose light doth shine,
is Christ the Savior, Word divine;
O Word, the Son, the Father gave
to us on earth our souls to save.
O hear our prayers, Lord God of Love,
and bring us to thy throne above.
O God, whose Spirit moves within
the quiet hearts above the din:
Bring peace to those who seek thy face
and fresh renewal by thy grace.
O hear our prayer, Lord God, of Love,
and bring us to thy throne above.
O God, most Holy Trinity,
the Undivided unity,
the Holy God, the Mighty God,
whose Name with glory, praise we laud.
O hear our prayers, Lord God of Love,
and bring us to thy throne above. Amen.
